What are you adding gradually, specifically? Like, a concrete example that names a namespace you may want to use. I'm trying to figure out what problems a half sandbox solves, and a vague "I just want to enable some capabilities&q

And how is it mixing and matching these APIs? Given that there's an OCI-compatible runner for jails (runj, compatible with runc -- which is what docker uses to start containers), it seems to me that Docker isn't in actually using

Yes, I am aware that it's got more moving parts. What are you using this flexibility for?
756.
by ori_b 5y ago
I don't get it. How are people using this flexibility to get things done in practice, and what uses aren't allowed by the jail model?

How are you finding Idris? or are you more in the Agda camp? If you want to definitely rule out as many errors as possible, dependently typed languages are the state of the art, allowing you to write a sort function that will fail to compil

Chromium is big. I think the last time I looked, it's larger than all the BSDs combined.

So much of computing is dedicated to solving problems that could be omitted.

So, like serial numbers, but more fragile?

The only thing I really want in C is the gradual removal of undefined behavior. Edit: C isn't perfect, but the biggest usability issues is the subtle footguns from UB. Everything else pales in comparison.

The correctness of git is based on hashes not colliding within a repo . This just means GitHub may need to give up on a cost saving measure like dedup between forks It's a GitHub issue, not a git issue.

For someone to be able to break your repo using sha1 collisions, they need to be able to commit to it. If you don't trust someone, don't let them commit to your repo. > Were they so in love with the performance of C/C++ b

globalvar = new NopImpl() works fine for testing. If you squint, you can even think of dependency injection frameworks like Dagger as a lot of boilerplate around a global database of instantiations.

It's also worth noting that you can pledge for an execed process using the second argument to pledge. This is for when you know what the child is expected to do on your behalf.

How so? It's normal for incompatible versions to get parallel installations.
